After work

(Levar Point of View)

After work, when I get home, it's around 11AM. I had to work a lot as we are understaffed but now I am going to bed. I am now focused on laying down in my bed to head to sleep after a long shift as I am normally asleep by now. Plus, I have to work tonight as well. I take off everything but my boxers and I just put them beside my bed. I can clean up when I wake up if I have the time too before heading back into work. I end up waking up about 6 hours later as it is almost 5 now. I clean up my dirty clothes and I put on pants. I end up realizing that my shirt that I was wearing yesterday is now gone. I am quite tall and on the skinner side so it is difficult to find clothes in my size. Now I have to go do my laundry so I have a shirt for this weekend. I was just going to wear that shirt to do my laundry but now I have to do it shirtless. Great. Now everyone will see my scars from top surgery. I head into my bathroom to brush my hair when I smell something. It smells like whiskey and berries? Or is it flowers? It's hard to tell but I know there is whiskey. I know that smell extremely well but the other smell, not so much. It's almost like a perfume.

I decide to ignore it and just move on with my morning routine. I brush my hair and then I head into the kitchen to make myself some toast. I see that I am out of my favorite jelly so I just put butter on my toast. When I finished my toast, I remember that I have sweatshirts. I put on a thin sweatshirt, grab the bag of my dirty clothes and I head to my apartment complexes' laundry mat. I put my clothes into the washer. Luckily, the washer and dryer are free for apartment tenants so I can just put my clothes in and then sit back as I wait for my clothes to be done. No one else is around, which isn't abnormal on a Tuesday afternoon, people are normally working or at school. I realize I forgot my phone or anything else that I could use to entertain myself so I lean back on the bench to relax. It takes three loads and almost four hours until everything is done and folded. I put them neatly in my bag and I take them back to my apartment. I take care of all of my clothes. 

I grab myself a paper and pen and I start walking around my apartment to see what I need. I need bread, milk, eggs, apples, my favorite jelly, napkins, toilet paper, lunch meat, ground beef, garbage bags and cheese. I grab my bag that has my wallet, keys, drivers license, ID card, chapstick, ibuprofen, and pepper spray. I grab my phone and I put it into my bag. I head to the grocery store to grab the things I need. When I went to get the apples, I ended up running into Asaka. I try not to stare at her but she is just wearing a tanktop and shorts. She also is red and has sweat on her so it makes me think that she was just working out. The thought of her working out is hot and now I am turned on. I just need to get my apples and then I can leave. I grab my apples and I hear Asaka speak.

"Hello there sweetheart."

Why must she call me sweetheart? I like it but it doesn't help with how hot she is. I take a second to calm down before looking at her. "Hi. Asaka, right?"

"Yes. That is right. I'm glad you remembered my name." She looks into my cart. "I see that you have already done most of your shopping."

"Yes ma'..." I stop myself from calling her ma'am as my face becomes slightly red. I'm not at work so it would be weird. "Yes, I am."

"You know, you can call me ma'am. I like how it sounds coming from you."

"I thought that was just because I was working."

"No. I don't just flirt with anyone. You are special for that."

I can feel my face heating up. "I will keep that in mind ma'am." I mumble this more to myself but seeing her slight smirk tells me that she heard me.

I grab a few apples, I put them in my cart, and I head to check out. I pay for my groceries. When I get home, I take care of everything. I grab myself an apple and I start eating it as I clean up around my apartment. My apartment is relevantly clean but I have some time to spend before I have to get back to work or even have dinner. Once I have everything clean, I have already finished my apple. I grab my garbage bags from around my house and I take them out into the apartment complex's dumpster. 

There were a few people outside, some at the nearby park, some walking their animals, some kids playing outside, and some heading inside for bedtime most likely as it is getting a little late. 

When I head inside, I see the time. I didn't realize that it was already around 7 so I started making myself dinner. I make myself some pork chops that I have had for a while. I also make myself some canned peas. By the time I am done eating and I have taken care of everything, it is 8:50. I get dressed for work. When I get into work, I see that more people are working tonight. I also see that Asaka is sitting at the bar where I was working yesterday but she doesn't have a drink in front of her.
